Clash of the Cover Bands

Producers of this show should be ashamed for glorifying cover bands. How many more real artists must compete with American Idols and Cover Bands when the real talent is creating original music. This is a horrible trend,

It's crazy how much effort people put into their covers. Some entertainers look so similar and sound so real! It is amazing and very entertaining and definite worth a watch. It seems like they have a lot of different artists and genres lined up; so keep with it and those who are dissing the show need to be patient until those other big or rock n roll names come up.

Tribute bands and musical impersonators compete in this show produced by Jimmy Fallon. Stephen Boss aka tWitch hosts this battle of groups and individuals who try to mimic the sounds and styles of their favorite artists.

Each episode features two acts who perform a song for the judges: Adam Lambert, Ester Dean, and Meghan Trainor. Afterwards, the judges offer their praise and criticism, suggesting training that might help each performer improve. After professional coaches work with the contestants, they return to the stage.

For their final performances, they alternate performing portions of songs by their artists. This allows the judges to compare them more easily, and it demonstrates mastery of multiple songs.

The quality of the show depends on the quality of the contestants. In the first two episodes, the performers are excellent. And the coaching does, in fact, improve the final performances.

If you like singing shows this one Is just ok. They need a new sound engineer. The commercials sound better than the show. Not sure where they are finding the cover "people" or bands 'cause some are good and some are just ok. Heck, cover bands in the Philippines sound better than most of these folks - just check YouTube. As another reviewer said, I rarely agree with the judges choice and have a sneaking suspicion they have an agenda. At least the judges are not as over the top as the dingbats on the Masked Singer.

It's a fun show and I like that it generally paints the cover band and tribute band industry in a positive light. I do wish that there was a Simon on the show, or at least tougher judging in general. But still a great show!
